Springtime for Children in Door County!

It's springtime for children in Door County! Okay, maybe that's not quite a Mel Brooks song, but it does mean it's time for spring concerts!

There are few communities in the country that celebrate the arts more than Door County, so it's not surprising that we have very elaborate music and art programs. Here are the highlights of the concerts from three of our kids.

The first is Malia's performance. Here are the 1st graders doing a tribute to Appalachian folk songs...



Our elementary schools in Sturgeon Bay are separated by grade. 1st & 2nd grade go to Sawyer Elementary, 3rd, 4th & 5th go to Sunrise Elementary.

This means that Nalani goes to a different elementary school than Malia - but they sang the same songs.

Here is the third grade also singing a collection of Appalachian folk songs...



And finally, we have Kekoa and the 5th graders. They decided to be hippies for a day - complete with tie dyed shirts of their own design...
